Syndicate Live Video to Facebook

Syndicate live video to Facebook without the need to enable syndication in Ooyala
Live.

Before You Start

Here are some considerations about Live Syndication to
Facebook:

Important:

Live Syndication only works with the Ooyala Package
as the Packaging Partner and Ooyala
Encode as the Encoding Partner.

A channel must be stopped to enable syndication.

Server Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) is not supported by Ooyala Live syndication
to social media.

Tip: Once you have enabled Facebook syndication on your channel, you
can start and stop the Facebook stream without stopping your channel. This
allows you to switch to a different page on Facebook without stoping your
channel.

It's a best practice to log out of all active Facebook session on the browser
running Ooyala Live.
